GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE
WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER 5. 1887.
DAILY EDITION
MURDER OR SUTCIDEs

The Ravens case will be instructive
for our new county. The primary
lesson it will teach is respect for legal
processes. Inquests must be thorough
and their verdict must be such as to
carry weight with it. In that way
the county may be saved heavy ex-
penses and the innocent will be vim
dicated Or the guilty punished speed
lily. The coroner has practically all
the powers in such matters of a
justice of the peace and can make his
examinations as complete as that Of
the other tribunal. When the Jury
returns it verdict, the public interest
will demand that such decision shall
not be disturbed unless upon grave
reasons, such as the discovery of new
testimony Of the gravest Importance.
In the Ravens inquest the acting
coroner. Judge Huy, and the jury
were vigilant, critical and pains
taking. They made inquiry in a
general way first, then they proceeded
formally with the inquest and sus-
pended that to hear the testimony Of
Dr.. Fairfield. He made a careful
examination of the remains under the
most favorable conditions and said
nothing in his testimony that was
inconsistent with suicide. The Jury
at least thought so, and returned a
verdict of ~self-murder, not of "found
dead or of killed by some person or
persons unknown" as they might
have done had there been any doubt.
La the opinion of the TRIBUNE, no
testimony was elected at the recent
examination TO overturn the verdict.
1t cannot .e claimed that in this
simple case the additional medi-
cal testimony could add anything to
that given by DR.. Fairfield at the
inquest, which was enough for all
practical purposes, verified as it VS.
by the observation of the iurymen
themselves. Still no one blames
Judge Race for his decision. He pre-
sided with success and ability at this
the first case which has come before
him here and as he could take no
cognizance Of the inquest, he was
certainly entitled to eviuce "a rea-
sonable doubt especially as the
defense saw fit not to place the defen-
dant on the stand, but as he testified
freely at the inquest, this was clearly
an act of legal expediency and not an
admission of conscious guilt.
Our new county will be yigilant in
Furnishing crime, but it will expect
that the coroner, sheriff and county
attorney shall each shield us from
prosecutions which entail immense
expense and end in failure. No one
will contend that the testimony
against Ravens is sufficient to send
him to the gallows and the nature of
the case precludes that any further
testimony can be elected that would
be conclusive. It is too late for the
good to find out that cases are
nopelessly weak when the county is
sadaled with heavy board bill and
3 heavier one still for witnesses.

IF the Montana Central were open
to Butte it is safe to conclude that the
Alice mine and mill would not have
been shut down. The Union Pacific
would have bowed before the healthy
competition which the Montana Cen

the other. Which he should drop IS

agitates his mlnd.-Independent.
Il is hardly necessary to say that
this "grievous question is not worry
ing Jerry Collins in the least, al
though the territorial press Gems to
! be worked up a good deal about it.
We are now personally and fully
identified with the TRIBUNE and at
the same time feel very much con-
tented in the ownership of a large
block in stock of the prosperous
journal at Fort Benton, the River
Press.
A BUTTE firm make some remarks
in their trade list which have general
application. They say: sThe wealth
derived from our products must re-
main at home. Not a dollar of u
money sent abroad ever returns to us.
while every penny circulated within
our W boundaries remains to min
gle with the everchanging capital of
our commerce until it becomes a
dollar. Taking the present basis of
our mercantile institutions as a stand
point, there are 10 good reasons why
our merchants are not amply able to
supply the demands of our popula-
ton. Goods are sold at as close a
margin Of profit in Montana to-day
as they are in any part of the known
world. And our largest cities carry
no more desirable or better assorted
stocks than are shown by u.s." This
advice to buy at home should be
needed in Great Falls as well az in
Butte. The large cities receive a
heavy tribute from Montana and
render no service in return to home |
trade Or manufactures.

ANTHRACITE MINERS TO AVOID A STRIKE.

PHILADELPHIA, May tSpeciaD-The indications to-
day are that there will be strike in the anthracite coal
regions conference will be held by the miners and
operators on Wednesday, at which the former VIII be
given per cent advance and above the basis OF
wages 1t is also stated here to-day that Master Work
man Powdery opposed to strike in the anthracite
regions at this me the large amount of coal above
ground would preclude any possibility Oh Its succeeding
SCRANTON, Penn, May tSpecidD.-The miners Of the
Lackawanna region have yet made demand for an
OF wages the companies expect that
will be made. The schuylhll County miners circular
asking an advance was sent TO the largest companies
operating in the Lackawanna region, but the Scranton
miners cannot imagine why it was done.
HAzLEroN, Penn, May 9-Ihe muchtalkedof strike
10 take place throughout the anthracite mining region
gains little credence this region While the men claim
that they should receive the advance asked for the more
conservative among them deprecate strike at this time
READING Penn, Mag (Specid).-The Reading Rail
road Companys employees held secret convention here
on sunday 1t finally decided to discourage strike
The chief advanced by the knights for the stand
taken is the fact that associations into which the
miners are divided the best OF terms and until
they become united strike must result disastrousy
